UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM H. HART, JR, AND JOSEPH G. GAITHER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PA.

. IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-WEAR PINS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 220,6 [0, dated October 14, 1879 application filed August 28, 1879.

To all whom it'may/ concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. HART, J12, and JOSEPH O. GAITHER, of city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck-Wear Pins, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figures 1 and 2 are views of opposite faces of a neck-scarf shield having our invention applied to it. Fig. 3 is a section in line as m, Fig. 2, showing the pin in position prior to clamping, and Fig. 4. shows the pin clamped or secured to the shield.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figlires.

Our invention consists of a pin with which the neck-band of a neck scarf, tie,-or other article of neck-wear engages, formed with a shoulder and a clamping end, whereby it may be conveniently and firmly secured to the shield, frame, or support of the scarf, &c., without other fastenin gs.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the shield, frame, foundation, or support usually B represents the pin, which is formed of metal, having the end at opposite the point bent or turned, and at a place between said end and the point a bend, which forms a shoulder, b.

Two openings, 0 c, are made in the shield,

and the pointed end of the pin is inserted in the lower opening, 0, until the shoulder b strikes the wall of said opening. The upper or head end, a, is then guided or passed through the upper opening, 0, so that it appears on the same side of the shield as the pointed end of the pin, after which it is pressed tightly against the shield.

It will be seen that portions of the pin are on opposite sides of the shield, and, owing to shoulder b and clamping end a, the pin is clamped in position or controlled at two places, and thus prevented from shifting longitudinally or emerging from the openings 0 0, whereby the connection of the pin and shield is firm and durable without stitching, sewing, riveting, or similar fastenings, and a serviceable and reliable article is produced.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-v ters Patent, is

The pin B of aneck-wear shield or support, A, formed with a shoulder, b, and clamping end (6, adapted to be applied substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
